Emily Eavis has spoken out on the third Glastonbury headliner, stating that she can't reveal who it is for contractual reasons.

Eavis has spoken of the booking on Radio 6 Music, explaining why organisers didn't announce the headliner along with the huge roster made public today she said that instead it would be revealed in May. 

"We can't give you that yet," she said. "We're under… It's just for contractual reasons, but it'll be with you soon. We've got it all booked, it was all confirmed a couple of weeks ago. It's purely that we can't give it to you yet.

"The full line-up, the thousands and thousands of acts playing across the hundreds of stages, will be with you in May. This is just 80 or 90 bands, a few hand-picked to give you a taster."

Eavis went on to state that the inclusion of Jack White on the bill was an exciting moment for them: "Getting Jack White was a really big deal for us," she says. "He's got a history here that goes way back and obviously he's had some brilliant moments here across all the stages.

"When he said he wanted to play here and didn't want to do any other UK festivals, we were really excited. Having him here on a big Pyramid [stage] slot will be just right – he's obviously got all the songs."
